Hmmm... Okay, it's been about 5 years since my dad passed so let me think... It takes about 2 weeks to receive copies of the Death Certificate. I can't remember who asked for copies but I had to send out MANY so I'm thinking the insurance company asked for one too. It seems like the check came within 8-12 weeks. I'm not positive because there were just so many things that needed to be taken care of, insurance was kinda the last thing on my mind. I do remember that it was long after the funeral and my relatives went home.

I think I remember being asked to fill out a form about having the taxes withheld. Not sure about that, though.
